Persistent pain can make you feel like you’ve lost touch with the activities—and the version of yourself—that you love. My physiotherapy sessions go beyond just treating a symptom; we look at the whole picture.
What to expect: A comprehensive assessment, followed by a bespoke recovery plan. Whether it’s through manual therapy, guided exercise, or home visits, we work at a pace that respects your pain levels while building your resilience.
Best for: Back, neck or other joint pain, recovery after an injury or post-surgery recovery, and mobility issues.
Location: Available at Send Therapy Rooms, home visits in Send, Guildford and surrounding area, gym-based sessions, or online consultations.
Clinical Pilates is a modification of pilates adapted by a physiotherapist to be specific to the individual. Exercises are modified as necessary to accommodate for any underlying pre-existing health conditions or injuries.
It is a powerful tool for retraining your body to move with efficiency and ease.
What to expect: Focussed, low-impact exercises designed to improve your core stability, posture, and flexibility. As these sessions are clinical, we can adapt every movement to ensure it is safe and effective for your specific condition.
Best for: Strengthening the “support system” of your spine, improving balance, injury prevention and preventing the recurrence of old injuries, hypermobility.
As an adjunct to physiotherapy, acupuncture is a highly effective clinical tool for managing musculoskeletal pain and tension. By stimulating specific parts of the body, we can encourage the body to release natural pain-relieving chemicals and improve local blood flow.
What to expect: I use fine, sterile needles to target traditional acupuncture points as well as tight muscle bands (myofascial trigger points). A feeling of relaxation can be felt, alongside a reduction in pain, muscle spasm and tightness and an ability to carry out certain movements more easily.
Best for: Low back pain, neck pain, osteoarthritis, and acute muscle spasms.
Living with persistent pain is exhausting for the nervous system. Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that provides a dedicated space for deep relaxation and stress reduction.
What to expect: While you remain fully clothed, I use a light touch (or no touch). It supports the emotional side of recovery, helping to lower stress hormones and promote a sense of calm.
Best for: Stress-related tension, fatigue, as a calming complement to physical rehabilitation or as a stand-alone treatment.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of therapy in which fine, sterile needles are inserted into specific parts of the body. Acupuncture is one of the oldest recorded forms of medicine having been used for over 3000 years in China and in the West for over 200 years. There are several theories as to how the effects are produced. The traditional Chinese view is that Qi (pronounced: Chi) energy flows freely through the body in channels, or meridians, when it is in a healthy state. Illness or injury may block these channels and energy stagnates. The stimulation of appropriate acupuncture points frees this stagnation and helps the body to return to its normal state of health. More recently research has shown that
